Adriel

Adriel appears briefly in the Hebrew Bible as the son-in-law of King Saul, and the name translates roughly to "flock of God" or "of God's congregation." It has quietly lived in Jewish and Latin American traditions for generations before surging into the U.S. mainstream in the 2010s, especially in Spanish-speaking families, where the rolled final syllable lands like a small benediction. The name entered the American top 200 around 2017 and has been climbing since. It shares the biblical cadence of Gabriel and Azriel but keeps its own quieter register. Adriel feels devotional without being heavy, modern without feeling manufactured.
